UNITED STATES PATENT GFFIGE.

MARSHALL TURLY, 0F COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,406, dated August22, 187].

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARSHALL TURLY, of Council Bluffs, in the county ofPottawattomie and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Device for Securing the Boxing in Hubs on Wheels forVehicles; and do hereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in a pipebox, having screw-threadsaround each end, to be inserted in a Wheel-hub by means of a sleeve `andshaft, with pin through the same at right angles, as will be hereinaftermore fully set forth.

In order `to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing which formsa part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinalvertical section of the boxing with the means for securing the same, andFig. 2 is an end view of the same.

A represents a box for hubs of vehicle wheels,- providedwith ascrew-thread around each end,

so that the box can be screwed into the hub, when the box Will remaintight until it is Worn out.

To attach the box in the hub I use a shaft, B, round at one end, to workin a guide, and the other end square, so that the different-sizedmaudrels or sleeves C may be slipped on to suit different sizes ofboxes. A square pin, a, extends at or nearly at right angles with theshaft, and fits in notches made in the inner end of the box, thus givinga hold to turn the box in screwing it into the hub.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The pipe-box A, provided with screw-threads around each end, and screwedinto the hub by means of the sleeve C, shaft B, and pin a, allconstructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes hereinset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this14th day of April, 1871.

MARSHALL TURLY.
